Tutorial: Leather wallet gift card holders

Most of the little kids in our family havve grown up into teenagers and young adults, so much of our Christmas gift giving comes in the form of gift cards. I’m always on the lookout for cute ways to package them up, like this leather gift card wallet. Jane from Buzzmillsshares a tutorial at Petit a Petit & Family showing how you can make them. You can sew them on your sewing machine or by hand. And after the gift card is used, the wallets are still useful as a credit card & ID wallet!

I am a big fan of gift cards, I know lots of people find them impersonal but being able to purchase what YOU need or what YOU want is far more logical than receiving random gifts and stocking fillers that you may not use. Especially with all these Netflix programs telling us to downsize, declutter and or course Konmarie everything.

The only disappointing thing with gift cards is not being able to shop for items, if you are like me and enjoying shopping for special gifts then maybe consider shopping for smaller stocking fillers or fun ways to wrap or gift the gift cards. You can present or gift a gift card in a fun and special way too.

One year I added the gift cards to some pretty wide mouthed water bottles that have been filled with little trinkets. We also featured this Giftcard Christmas tree idea on the blog here.
